Dublin, Ireland — Aidan Connolly, CEO of Cainthus, a startup focused on AI based camera recognition systems for dairy and other farms, and President of AgriTech Capital, has been accepted into Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs, and technology executives.
Connolly was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of his experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.
"We are honored to welcome Aidan into the community," said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Technology Council. "Our mission with Forbes Councils is to bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world."

Connolly said 'This is a critical inflection point for farming; We have never faced so many challenges in feeding a growing population and as has been said by Jack Bobo 'have never understood so little or cared so much about how their food is produced'. Food producers and farmers are embracing technologies that we have never had access to before, and the pace of change promises to be transformational. Through the Forbes Technology Council, I hope to bring the message of what is occurring on farm, and in the food system, to the wider world.'
